Ohhh, I wasn't referring resilver time, I meant "stays functional" ;-) Have fun, jel. -- Otto-von-Guericke University http://www.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/ Department of Computer Science Geb. 29 R 027, Universitaetsplatz 2 39106 Magdeburg, Germany Tel: +49 391 67 12768 ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

It'd be worth still reseating the SATA cables on the backplane like Krunal recommended.

If this is a Solaris-based OS, then look at "fmadm faulty" for a diagnosis leading to a removal. If none, then look at "fmdump -eV" for errors relating to the disk. Last, check the "zpool history" to make sure one of those little imps didn't issue a "zpool remove" command. -- richard > I've tried clearing the error but the pool becomes faulted again.

Wondering, which OS version, driver and which controller? Also, is this always the 2nd drive of a 2-way mirror?
